GPG Technical Issues

[Les Beeavinu]

Incredibly minor issue- on the fixtures changes page the notes are impossible to see on dark mode without clicking on the image.

I've got two workarounds for this.

@Roman Bee

This is what I see in Dark Mode, which seems fine to me.

Wiki Thread 'Brentford Fixtures and Changes 2026/27'

21 Jun 2026

2026-27 version is as per below

Same as last season except:
1. some colour changes
2. added friendlies
3. highlighted Free Midweeks (2nd Sept v unlikely to be used however)
4. Note that Brighton (A) will move to Sunday 8th November as cannot be played on Saturday due to B&HA playing on Thursday in Europe and cannot be played on Monday due to International Break.
5. Sunderland and Bournemouth matches in March also likely to move for similar reason.
6. Remember that EFL Cup R3 is spilt due to Europe.

It really isn't a big deal. I shouldn't have mentioned it

@Banana
As @Roman Bee said .... in dark mode (per my laptop also) the notes column is totally black ... how about setting the background as a colour ie white for that column ... hmmm

Ah it's just the notes column. I can fix that.

I was thinking @Idaho Bee meant this, which is on the New posts page.

Yes this was the "feature". I must have clicked on it by accident and set up that behaviour. It was happening for a while so thanks for pointing out the obvious.

 

[Banana]

Is that better @Roman Bee and @BuzzWord ?

My view has changed, I think away from GPG Mobile (if that’s what it was) but I’m not sure how and I don’t see it as an option. Is this just a me issue?

Do you mean the theme, it's right at the bottom

 

[mundee4england]

Yes but it just says Default and GPG Style. Isn’t there usually a mobile version?

You can see the "mobile version" when the window is narrowed. It's dynamic, not a setting you select

There are also two settings there. One for the style and one for dark/light mode.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Purely dependent on screen size and orientation (has been that way for a few years)

 

[mundee4england]

Thanks, I think I’ve done something myself which means it now not showing the mobile view even though I’m on my iPhone.

Restart your browser app.

 

[mundee4england]

I’m in that weird place where I’ve been looking at something for many hours a day for 20 years it’s changed and now I can’t recall what it should look like!

 

[mundee4england]

Is there usually less detail than this in mobile view? Or am I going insane?

 

[Banana]

Yes that is not what I would expect to see on (say) an iphone. Have you restarted your browser? or tried a different one?

 

[mundee4england]

Yep, closed app and restarted and cleared cookies and history. No change. Think I may have pressed something with the GPG open but not sure what and can’t work out if I’ve changed something.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Have you changed your screen size on your phone?

 

[mundee4england]

Sorted, I asked Chatty G. I’d changed a setting on the address bar.

Thanks all!

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Thanks all!

Just for our info, what setting was changed?

 

[mundee4england]

The ‘A’ size in the address bar, which I am guessing is screen size as you suggested.

i'm experiencing a low-level frustrating UX glitch whereby I'm not getting taken to the latest unread post in a thread. Manifests differently in different scenarios:

- When I click to a thread under 'Forums', I get taken to the beginning of that thread (regardless of previous engagement)
- When I click through under 'New posts', I always get taken to the top of the page containing the latest unread post (rather than the post itself)
- When I click through a reaction to one of my posts, I get taken to the top of the page containing my post.

Happens with both Safari and Chrome, so not a browser thing. Have I somehow changed a GPG setting?

Thanks

There's no user setting that could change that behaviour. I know it's a turn it off / turn it on again answer but I might suggest you log out (important), shut your browser, clear your cache and log back in again but before you do, how long has this been going on and does it happen on all devices you use? I will confess that I can't recall what the expected behaviour is for what your describing so if you could do the above and it's still happening, I'll take a deeper look. Nothing has changed at site level.

Thanks Les - appreciate the quick reply!

Tried what you suggested, and unfortunately didn't fix the issue on my laptop. Then tried on my phone, and all seems to be working OK. So it's clearly a device-specific thing.

Then it occurred to me that I experienced similar(ish) glitches on a different site yesterday - after I installed some StarTech firmware onto my laptop (to enable me to use external monitor/mouse/keyboard via a docking station). It may or may not be something to do with that. Either way, clearly not a GPG issue.

FWIW, based on my phone experience just now I think expected behaviour for each of the scenarios listed is:

- Click to a thread under 'Forums' > go to beginning of that thread
- Click through under 'New posts' > go to the latest unread post
- Click through a reaction to a post > go to that post

Thanks again.

<- Click to a thread under 'Forums' > go to beginning of that thread > If the thread is unread, you should be taken to the last unread post. If the forum is read but you want to go the last post, click the time last posted instead of the title link.

Makes sense - thanks.

 

[stocc]

Makes sense - thanks.

Also, if the most recent unread post is by a member you have on your ignored list, you will be taken to the top of the latest page if you click on that thread (we'll at least that's my experience)

Hi Les

I find that if the forum is read and I have the last poster on ignore then clicking on either the thread title or the time last posted takes me to the first post on the last page rather than the last post.

This has been the case since the November 25 upgrade.

 

[stevil]

Sorry Les - opened a can of worms here!

(FWIW, I fixed my issue by tweaking Accessibility settings.)

Sounds like expected behaviour to me tbh.

I am too, I just ignore all recent posts up until the latest, only if the latest post I must have missed something do I go back and try to find where I was, which I have little chance of finding

 

[StevieSteve]

Really? OK.

I'd expect it go to the last unread post if there was one, last read post if there wasn't.

But I've coped so far, I s'pose.

I don't know think it records what the last post before the last post that was ignored (which is the true last post) was because it would be different for everyone.

 

[Banana]

Yes, ignoring posters brings in a whole lot of "unexpected" or rather "unintuitive" behaviour and therefore I would advise against using that feature.

<- Click to a thread under 'Forums' > go to beginning of that thread > If the thread is unread, you should be taken to the last unread post.

Should this be the first unread post? Or the oldest unread post?

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Is there a difference?

 

[Edmundo]

Is there a difference?

Between the first and the last? Usually there is!
